I've never said it can't be hacked, just that it is less easy! My
personal opinion is that computers are really only as smart as the
people that programme them.  OK, so they can to computations quicker,
but that doesn't, IMHO, make them intelligent, just faster!  As there is
always gonna be someone out there who thinks differently, people are
gonna find ways of using some programmes for purposes other than they
were meant for.

My personal opinion? It doesn't matter what system you have, be it *nix
M$ or OS/2 (!), subscribe to somthing like bugtraq and apply patches as
and when they arrive!

My £0.02,

Matt
